Angled horizontally is no big deal, since the axle pinion and the transmission output shafts are parallel to each other. The 4wd Willys trucks and wagons used to come that way from the factory, the transfer case had offset output but the axle was not. The CJ series had an offset pumpkin because the rear driveshaft was only 16" long. Just make sure that the pinion and transmission shafts are parallel both horizontally and vertically and don't exceed an angle of about 10 degrees at the u-joint and you will be just fine.
